DRAMA
I am the Titan Cronus, father of the main gods. I sit here trapped in Tartarus. I watch this one hero named Odysseus who is lost and trying to get home from war in Troy. So far I am pleased with how his adventure is turning out. Odysseus has managed to blind my son Poseidon’s son Polyphemus. Many years ago I was imprisoned by my own sons like I did to my father. Before I was imprisoned down here in Tartarus, I swallowed each of my sons besides Zeus who I was tricked into not eating.
After hearing the prophecy for Odysseus I am upset that he must kill so many people to retake his house. After I was overthrown, Zeus ended the golden age and time of peace for man. I hope that there is some other peaceful way for him to take his house.
Odysseus just retook his house with the help of Athena and Zeus.
So much death in the past hour. Hopefully Odysseus will be banished to The Underworld so I can avenge those who have died.
I used the color green for text because Cronus is looked on as the god of harvest and every plant has at least a little bit of green in it. The glitter text is red because after being overthrown Cronus was banished to Tartarus in the underworld and red is usually associated with death
